Fun-time is over.

you could totally cheat at bamboozle, the three wrong answers for every question would all take you to the same page, while only the correct answer would take you forward, but after you pressed the fast text colour button the number at the top would change before you actually went to the page as the transmission did another "lap", and if you pressed another button fast enough it would supersede the first one.

Wikipedia posted:

The most controversial "Reveal-O" appeared right at the end of Digitiser's life, on the final page of the final letters section. It purported to be a picture of "the real Turner The Worm (a cartoon character from Teletext also created by Rose) being sick". Pressing the reveal button then uncovered an image that many have likened to a recently ejaculated penis.

I think there is a clear winner, mainly because of the typo on ceefax's supposedly reputable news page

Sam Slug and Sid Shady each
ordered a double whisky. Slug b—t Shady
£1 that he could put a bowl over
Shady's whisky and drink it without
touching - indirectly or dipectly -
the whisky glass, the bowl op the bar;
neither would anyone assist Slug. Is
this a good bet for Shady?

No, bacause Slug would pick up tha
bowl, drink the double whisky, and pay
Shady £1 for a drink which cost at
least twice that amount.
